Description

1. Environment

  • Device: [Pixel 4a 5G]
  • OS: [Android 13]
  • APP: [0.9.8]

2. Describe the bug

In the ReadYou Account Settings page, there is a setting for "Keep Archived Articles". This toggle allows for the app to discard articles that were read before some user-defined threshold (the default is 30 days).

This setting works, but it's easy to misunderstand its purpose as "deleting read articles PUBLISHED before the user-defined threshold". This is not the case, and could be explained better through localizations.

Research direction

Start at the ReadYou Account Settings page and locate the localized label or description for “Keep Archived Articles.” Review the setting’s existing wording, then clarify that it discards articles read before the configured age threshold rather than articles published before it; update the relevant localizations and verify the setting text in the app.
